Therapy style

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have worked with individuals of all ages and provided support in managing stress, anxiety, and depression. I focus on empowering individuals to recognize personal strengths in a supportive space and reach their full potential. I am motivated to create an environment that is welcoming, compassionate, collaborative, and free of judgment. I offer an eclectic approach to therapy that pulls from a variety of treatment modalities, including solution-focused and strengths-based therapies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. When entering therapy, you should expect an opportunity to feel understood, validated, and confident in discussing concerns without judgment. I aim to equip clients with tools they can use to successfully manage stressors in their personal lives. It takes courage to seek support and divulge personal experiences; my goal is to help you feel assured in your decision to reach out!
